BUGICIDE(HFJONE AU)

Chapter 1:Watch life bloom

Liam's POV

So, this is really it huh, my leg still hurts like hell but, now I'm staring down at the corpse of the same person who I tried to chop with an axe, and the same person who gave me this cast. Poor acts of kindness and incoming karma doesn't mix well. But despite my hatred for this, person, I couldn't help but feel almost guilty that he ended up dying.

Texty's dead, everyone else is trapped on the plane now, this is all just going downhill. But, I can't feel tears sting my eyes, for some reason. All there is, is empty bliss. Glaring down at the body of someone I once hated, their head, or hat. Lay motionless on the ground, glass shards glimmering in the sand.

Who even was this person, have I already forgotten their name? They tormented all of us, but, I can't help but forget who this actually was. It's an odd feeling to suddenly no recognize your own tormentor.
But I shouldn't dwell on it, it feels to overdramatic for me. 
Somehow.
What even is my reasoning for this situation, I woke up feeling like a whole different person. 
..
I turn around from the lifeless body and limp away from it, and into the cabin that no longer bares an owner. Because that owner is gone, and something tells me I'm going to be sleeping outside.
These nagging feelings, feel like bug bites. What happened when I got knocked out, I turn to the old laptop I brought with me. Why did I, oh,
oh right..

Texty, I'm so sorry my friend, I open the laptop to see it's just, dead. How did I forget them for a second, the only person who came with me. The only person who didn't resist or disappear.
And for bad luck, their dead, and there's no way I'm getting them back after I dropped the charger into the deep waters.
Should I bury the laptop in memorial? Or should I leave it in here to rest for all eternity. I don't know what to do, ever since I felt to defeat ram into me like the falling tree, I slowly forget why I even tried.

All this was for nothing at all, everyone's either dead or trapped. It's aches my heart to realize that there isn't a way to fix this. 

That failure has swallowed every single one of us whole. I back up and out of the cabin, and turn to the vine covered cave. I make my way towards that, maybe, just maybe. Everyone can feel at ease within the same world the tormentor controlled. Maybe things don't have to be so bad.

All these memories of torment and shame can be put aside for something better. If I can figure out the computer, then MAYBE I could make things better.
I could give everyone their happiness back, their lives could be better then ever. Basking underneath daylight without anymore worries.

I don't know what I'm thinking anymore, everything in my mind feels like a messy blur shouting out to make things better, to make everyone alive again.
To rejoice from this world of pain and worry.

I'm not going to end up like that person, the person who stepped too far to the point I forgot their name, I forgot their face. And their voice in my mind is static. I remember their body, their intentions, the way they spoke. And yet nothing could stop the fall of the damned. 
If an axe couldn't do it, nature would.
..
Nature, I turn back to the vines of the cave then look back to the planet, the plane. I could hear the soft sobbing of those who were trapped in this loop.
But the loop was about to change, for the better of it all. I'll figure something out, I just will. I look back at the exit, its almost as if my eyes don't see the vines anymore as I blindly limp through them, the pain in my leg echos out throughout my body yet I do not care about it anymore. Things were going to change, I'm not letting it end this way. 

It won't end at all, as long as I'm here, I'll play god, just to make things feel BETTER. I'll rise them all back up, no matter what I'll better it all, nothing will compare to my upcoming act of kindness. I'll let everyone live happily ever after without anymore pain.

3rd Person POV
Walking up to the deep waters beneath the waterfall again, Liam stops to see something green lay still on the unbothered hat. Liam glares it down, without emotion. Neither of the beings have emotion present, a frog.

A frog sit blissfully of the hat of the fallen lantern. Where did it come from? Who know, but Liam couldn't help but come closer to it, to reach out to it.
To grab it gently and show it up to his very face, it croaks unbothered, it's almost like if they were the same in this situation, trapped and wanting to feel better.

Liam thought, perhaps.
"Maybe you and me could be a team." Liam softly spoke, the frog croaks yet again unbothered, it remains still in his palm, Liam's blank expression slowly shifts to a smile.
Perhaps it won't be so bad, perhaps this could be the key. 
Finding nature's true life within this dimension, and returning it all to the trapped, maybe then could they be free of the agony and despair. 
Was this the way to true freedom? For small life to guide the larger trapped souls.

He felt like it was.
He felt it washing over into his empty, freedom begging mind. 
..
Find nature's life, and bring it to everyone you know in this world.
Return to the hollow earth, return to the grass, the trees. Be the flowers, and return into the dirt unbothered. 
Let the sun rebirth you, into something BEAUTIFUL.

3 months prior to the discovery of life in [REDACTED]'s dimension.

On the plane.
Still 3rd person POV

The remaining contestants remain alarmed, bothered and frightened, Airy was gone, there was no turning back at all. The news presented to them was almost as if a new demon had come to mercilessly torment them.
They all glare concerned to the large bug carcasses on the plane, presented to them by someone they thought would save them.
Liam, no.
Backpack.

Backpack came in one day just to spew out unbelievable words about their tormentor's downfall and how Texty was so sadly lost inside the void of rotting electricity and machinery. 
It was all so unbelievable, until Backpack dropped something they've never thought they'd see. A frog, a large frog compared to them. But that frog was scooped back up gently by a large hand exactly identical to Backpack's.

That green backpack had been trying to save them, over and over again. Yet like his words of "returning to nature" the computer wouldn't seem to just work for him. 
Death was fearful, yet knowing there may still be hope of getting out despite the insanity of backpack thinking bug bodies would work. Now they sit between oozing green goo and large insects squished.

The sight was dreadful, but Backpack was sane enough to keep trying the computer right? Not all hope is lost. Right?

Right?
There can't possibly be anything worse to come out of this.

Right?
right?

...
something bad is going to happen to use, one of us just knows it.
